Everyday Icons / Hiding In Plain Sight (Abu Dhabi)

No.0058 - 734, Al Falah Street

I’ve been wanting to photograph this building for some time. I was worried that its retro-colored candy stripes would be covered up before I got chance to. But thankfully not!

I say this a lot but this building really does stand out in its wider context. A combination of orange-brown painted concrete and dark green tiles emphasize the eleven upper floors. Interestingly, only one elevation (the long side facing the service road) is adorned with balconies.

Architect and completion date unknown.
